    Paper towels rock.
    I moved my kids over to tub enclosures and am now using paper towels. Just wanted to write how much easier it is to maintain their set ups like this. I don't have any more humidity issues, in fact my humidity gauge is a good way to know when I have to clean, 80% means "hey I just went potty"

    Now thats a breeze too, remove paper towels, clean, add new paper towels. Sure beats the hell out of trying to scoop out all the aspen, scoop in all the new aspen, and clean up all the aspen thats dropped on the floor.

    Paper towels also make the enclosure much easier to heat as the aspen was acting like an insulator between the flexwat and tub.

    Fed-Ex just got here with my pastel as I was typing. Look for pictures!

    Newspaper will give you all the same effects and might be a little safer depending on the size of the snake ... hatchlings are fine on paper towels, but I have seen older animals actually ingest paper towels that were used as bedding.

    Where do you all buy unprinted newspaper, I was going to use it but couldn't figure out where to buy the plain brown stuff.

    Yea and if you get like two tubs for each snake. When they poop you just take that tout the dirty tub put another clean one in and your good to go.

    Thank You, must admit I didn't even attempt to search for it. You can punch me for being lazy twice. I'll search around, thanks for the starting point.
